PSG fans turn on Italy’s Donnarumma after error

Italy international Gianluigi Donnarumma was named as the first-choice Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper this season, but a howler is prompting fans to call for the return of Keylor Navas.

The former Milan shot-stopper had a troubled debut season in France, constantly battling with Navas for a start in every match throughout the campaign.

This time around, coach Christophe Galtier stated that Donnarumma was the first pick, sending veteran Navas to the bench.

Fans are in revolt after a shock 3-1 defeat to Lens, ending a lengthy unbeaten run in Ligue 1 for PSG, and Donnarumma has been blamed for the opening goal with supporters online pointing to his ‘stupid’ error.

He was caught off his line and only flapped at a cross, unable to prevent it falling to Przemyslaw Frankowski.

Navas has been in Paris since 2019 and just turned 36 last month, but has not had a single competitive game at club level so far this season.
